In some very sad news today, Alexander Mcnulty, the bassist of Tasmania's Save The Clock Tower has passed away.
The Launceston band informed fans of the tragic news with this post, but out of respect and circumstance did not reveal the cause of death, via social media:
"Today, we carry the heaviest of hearts. We miss you and love you brother, more than any words can ever, ever explain. Rest in peace Alexander."
The local music scene has given an outpouring of support and mourning for the Mcnulty's family, friends and bandmates, with Awaken I Am, This Fiasco, and Alpha Wolf, among many others, sharing their condolences.
"RIP Alex Mcnulty . We had the absolute privilege to tour with Save The Clock tower and honestly had some of the best times with the boys especially with Alex who was just a legend. Always brought the best vibes to any room.
Our condolences and love go to the band and friends/family. Rest In Peace brother"

"As a band playing across Australia you cross paths with so many others and the whole scene finds itself connected. We've played with the boys in Save The Clock Tower countless times and shared some amazing memories. We are so shocked and heartbroken by the news that Alex has passed away and we'd just like to say that he and his band are a big part of the community of bands in Australia and his passing will be felt across the country.
From so many of us rest in peace Alex you will not be forgotten."

Earlier this week, the band cancelled their upcoming shows, which was followed up by the news of the bassists passing. The band have yet to discuss the terrible news any further, and rightfully so.
We here would like to extend our thoughts and condolences to Mcnulty's family, friends and his bandmates during this very difficult time. Rest in peace.
